Traverse city...

I've driven past that before. It's on 72 west out of Traverse on the way to Empire. It always makes me when I see it.

[Rizzo]

So what are the best and most wacky street names in Metro GR?

I vote for "Easy Street" off Byron Center in Wyoming. Who came up with that one?

My favorite is Podunk Road off of M-57 near Greenville.

This seems as good a place as any to post this. I recently found a newly created website for Bridgewater Place (office building). I just thought some may be interested in seeing it:

yeah that makes sense. They are really going to start advertising too, since one of their largest tennants moved to the suburbs.

Take a drive south on fuller from Plainfield and your bound to find some of the zaniest names streets in Grand Rapids. There is a Calgary Rd. and Edmonton Rd. and an Alberta Rd. There is a Sweet St. a Short St. which is as small as a city block. I can see the nameing meeting for that one

Commissioner: "What shall we call this one?"

Commissioner2: "Well its kind of a short off street"

Commissioner: "Thats it! Short St.!"

For the road with the most goofy names intersecting with it, it has to be Fuller.

Yeah, that neighborhood had some strange street names. I'm still voting for Easy Street. I've always had a meeting like snoogit's in my head, but it sounds more like a Cheech and Chong skit.

Of course strange as they are, these roads actually have names. Ludington has an infamous "No Name Road" just north of its central downtown

[svs650k3]

Here's the top 10 strange street names in the country:

10. Tater Peeler Road in Lebanon, Tenn.

9. The intersection of Count and Basie in Richmond, Va.

8. Shades of Death Road in Warren County, N.J.

7. Unexpected Road in Buena, N.J.

6. Bucket of Blood Street in Holbrook, Ariz.

5. The intersection of Clinton and Fidelity in Houston

4. The intersection of Lonesome and Hardup in Albany, Ga.

3. Farfrompoopen Road in Tennessee (the only road up to Constipation Ridge)

2. Divorce Court in Heather Highlands, Pa.

1. Psycho Path in Traverse City, Mich.

as mentioned here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11570314/

Way to go Traverse!

[MJLO]

Isn't it like a private drive? I thought the person who lived in the house, named the street.

[blueradon]

Don't forget the "BJ St NE" when heading east bound leaving cannonsburg

None of these are even close to the strangest one I've ever seen. *Caveat* please do not think I'm racist. I didn't name this street I'm only bringing it up in the context of this discussion.

Savannah, Georgia has an actual street named Black Weiner Rd. The first time I saw it on a street map my chin about hit the floor. I was sure someone at the printer had slipped that one in as some sort of joke. So I drove over to see if it was really there, guess what it was. Complete with street signs. Not to mention a church having the poor fate of being located on said road.

It seems slow, but there have been 30+ people around here all day. Interestingly, more than half are anonymous lurkers...
